This is a book on singers and musicians drawn from popular music. Huey Morgan sets out his stall on page one with a three paragraph summary on the death of Kurt Cobain which is as succinct as it is brief. I thought the rest of the book was going to be similarly bleak, not so. Kurt Cobain is a...

Any particular genre?

Oh for f**ks sake.

That's all right then.

What... you're leaving? You've only just arrived.

I think it would've been a great book too, no doubt some enterprising self publisher will turn it into a reality...

Well so much for etiquette... look out for the new Conscious Bob book 'How To Troll' retailing at a thousand bucks.

The soothing tones of Stephen Fry.

Political diaries are always a hit or miss affair. In this particular instance Chris Mullin made the decision to write a diary on the UK Government when New Labour came to power in 1997 and as a decent guy with no personal political scandal he was able to write extensively without enmity, by...

Pretty funny too, there's been a few good Private Eye articles written about this activity.

There's a Mrs Sparkchaser, cool. I blame the parents for Kylo, Han Solo is a deadbeat dad, now Jango Fett there's a guy that takes an interest in his kid.

A few people I know have recently acquired awful tattoos of the heavy black ink sleeve variety, this appears to be a trend. Is it because ubiquity makes it harder to stand out?

I love Supermassive Black Hole but that's it.

I'll be seeing it midweek so I'll post one up afterwards, that's if there isn't one here. Don't hang about on my account folks.

I think about that story still so I'll need to read a bit more Kafka.
